Yuvan tweeted, "Upset about this, but good to see where the worlds heading, whatever's meant to be will be. But piracy is wrong."

Following the issue, Director Venkat Prabhu tweeted, "It's really sad and unfortunate biriyani tracks are leaked on net!! We ve been trying to stop it from morning!! But people love piracy!"

Directed by Venkat Prabhu, Biriyani also features Hansika Motwani, Ramki, Premgi Amaren, Nassar and Jayaprakash in important roles. The movie is produced by Studio Green, it is slated to release Sep 6 worldwide.
